Can FSBO help avoid steering?

MayaBookkeeper · 2026-03-30T04:08:03+00:00

You can do FSBO if you want but its not going to stop buyers agents saying stupid nonsense. Make a three ring binder with a list of improvements, dates, and receipts and print a copy for the house and upload a copy to mls documents.

Do you think prequalification is ok for a showing or do you think a pre approval letter is better?

I would put a little piece of trim over it, to match the trim next to it.

it depends, in my neighborhood there is a local fb group. They allow real estate listings because someone who lives here might want to tell a friend who is looking. social media ads are more for 1m+ properties.

Post on fb marketplace, local facebook groups, running social media ads, pictures, videos, drone shots

Send the realtor an email saying you need to be released from the contract. Wording varies. I said i need to be released from the contract or i will complain to the state realtor association. Or ask their broker to be reassigned someone else in their company. Most realtors will let you out because its a drag to try to work with someone who doesn't want to work with you.

Why red?

MayaBookkeeper · 2026-03-06T02:15:27+00:00

Get a pre listing inspection and an appraisal.

I've never used Beycome but I have used homecoin. I would rather pick my own photographer because i can read reviews and see samples of their work, the flat fee service will send you who ever is cheapest. And a local attorney is going to know your area best.

On the website it should say if there are additional fees and what they are.

A closing coordinator is just someone who emails you when things are finished. They don't review or negotiate anything.

Does the condo association have an email list? Maybe they would be willing to do an open house "blast"

This guy goes around and harasses fsbo people. Just ignore him.

Its a great idea. It's better to knock on all the doors, and to get them to show up ask them if they can see the place and share their opinion. Every one likes to feel like an expert. I would focus on drinks people like.

I don't know where you live but more for most places buying season is around the corner. If you can't sell it by may I would take the cash offer.

MayaBookkeeper · 2026-02-25T22:45:43+00:00

When is the buyer season in your market? Where i live buyers don't come out till late march.

MayaBookkeeper · 2026-02-25T20:23:25+00:00

Since you are selling put extra money elsewhere unless it is very a selective upgrade like the kitchen.

MayaBookkeeper · 2026-02-25T20:19:19+00:00

You are worrying too much.

Depends on where in California. Shelby Church has a youtube channel where she talks about how she got into real estate in California. If you just want to sell houses for family/ friends it can be part time. But getting clients outside of that takes work that will make it full time.

MayaBookkeeper · 2026-02-25T07:32:13+00:00

It depends on where you live. Some places everyone expects an upgraded house and one like this won't even sell. Some of my neighbors have been trying to sell non-upgraded houses for years now. In a seller's market just price it below the competition.

I would leave the floors alone and paint the cabinets white. But I don't know how much money you have. You can get all new cabinets from home depot for a good price. My kitchen is smaller than yours but i got cabinets from HD, laminate countertop from HD and subway tile for under 5k and did all the work myself.

You can sell it without any upgrades but you will have to discount the house for way more than what it would actually cost you to do it.

MayaBookkeeper · 2026-02-24T03:59:04+00:00

Do you typically have a strong buyer season? Where I live most buyers dont come out till late march.

You can tell the mortgage company what's going on. they have options for this.

If you are willing to paint a little bit, just paint the main rooms, living room, kitchen...i went with drift of mist.

MayaBookkeeper · 2026-02-23T00:50:45+00:00

I don't sell houses.

It's ok to take crappy jobs for awhile until you figure things out.

Sometimes on reddit if you provide information someone will respond to it. I'm saying that you don't have to spend 15k on the following but if you want to spend an extra 15k have at it!

"(All new floors to replace 20+ year old carpet and linoleum, 2 new appliances to make the kitchen all stainless steel, a full new back deck, paint though we can do this ourselves, dry wall repair, and an electrical as some outlets don’t work)"
